Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd
Being one of the most prominent Arab thinkers on religious reforms, Dr. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd’s humanistic hermeneutic approach to interpreting the holy verses of the Qur’an within a contemporary historical and cultural context, stirred much controversial debate among Islamic scholars.
On 12 October 2010 a number of Dr. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd’s close friends and Arab intellectuals paid him tribute by giving testimonies on his life and work. The event was concluded with the documentary film “Waiting for Abu Zayd” by Mohammad Ali Al Atassi.
